    Movies (in theaters/dvd)

    • Seen:
      • Avengers 3: Infinity War … OMG
      • Justice League … better than I’d heard
      • Thor 3: Ragnarok
      • Transformers (5): The Last Knight
      • Wonder Woman … loved it!
      • X-Men: Apocalypse
      • Now You See Me: The Second Act
      • Star Trek Beyond
      • Captain America 3: Civil War … loved it as I thought I would; Cap2 is still my fave MCU movie, however
      • Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice … better than I expected though kinda tedious in parts
      • Allegiant
      • Hunger Games 3: The Mockingjay, Part 2 … satisfying ending to a very entertaining movie series
      • Avengers 2: Age of Ultron … entertaining but didn’t agree with all the character arcs
      • Insurgent
      • Hunger Games 3: The Mockingjay, Part 1
      • Snowpiercer … both as expected and not as expected; glad I watched it OnDemand rather than buying since it’s not something I could watch a second time
      • Transformers 4: Age of Extinction … long and mostly slow; no little boy humor…actually barely any humor at all
      • X-Men: Days of Future Past
      • Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier … absolutely the best and my favorite of the MCU movies that I’ve seen
      • Divergent
      • Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire
      • Thor 2: The Dark World … loved it; action, drama, some (odd at times) humor, and a little romance
      • Now You See Me … I almost didn’t watch this due to reviews, but I really enjoyed it.  Most satisfying non-hero flick I’ve seen in ages.
      • The Wolverine
      • Man of Steel (second reboot) … after reading the novelisation, decided I would regret not seeing it in the theater…good movie, too much violence, *excellent* score

    Music

    • I must confess…I’m a soundtrack junkie. If there’s a series or movie out there that I love and has good music, then I probably own the soundtrack. And by soundtrack, I mean the incidental music, not the “soundtrack of pop vocal music inspired by the movie and/or series.” I want the good stuff…the composed orchestral wonderful soaring music.

    Watching:

    • Anything on the History Channel or Discovery that happens to be Egyptology-related, which just fascinates me.
    • I’m a scifi/fantasy fan, so if it’s scifi and/or fantasy, it’ll most likely get my attention. Add great writing, likeable complex characters, and angst to that, and well, I’m hooked.
      • Current series: Arrow, Dark Matter, Doctor Who, Gotham, The Librarians, Once Upon a Time, Supergirl, Timeless
      • Past series: AngelAgent Carter, Babylon 5BuffyDefiance, The Dresden FilesFarscapeFirefly/SerenityFlash Forward, Heroes, Jericho, Merlin, Sleepy Hollow, Star Trek: Deep Space NineStar Trek: EnterpriseStargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, V
    • I also have an affinity for various animated series, most of which (though not all) are aimed more toward an adult/late teen audience, such as
      • Avatar, the Last Airbender, Code Lyoko, Danny Phantom, Justice League/Justice League UnlimitedTeen TitansThe Batman, and Young Justice 
      • Of course, watching series set in the DCAU has added another “shipper” couple to my list: Batman/Wonder Woman.
      • And Avatar added Zuko/Katara, one of the few “no real on-screen evidence to support (and I don’t care)” couples that I adore.
    • And my old favorites from the 80s/90s: Zorro, Beauty & the Beast, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, and The Sentinel. Good stuff.
